Is this it?

It seems like prophecies on a biblical scale are unfolding right in front of our eyes. With Russia now actively in the Syrian skies taking part in
their own air-strike campaign this certainly leaves the U.S. in quite the predicament. Russia is targeting CIA/Saudi backed rebels rather than ISIS
(also backed by CIA?) and there are rumours that China is on it's way to protect Assad as well. Iraq has set up their command centre to strategically
share information with Syria, Russia, and Iran; quite a big "f you" to America.

Is Syria really the end-game? It seems like the line has been drawn. U.S. wants Assad to go so they can put their own proxy in but Russia isn't
letting that happen. Seems like all the right ingredients for a nuclear showdown.

No, it is not the biblical end. If you follow scripture, the end will begin with a massive attack on Israel. The US will have abandoned or be unable
to assist Israel. When that happens, you will know we've reached the beginning of the end according to the Bible.

Russia isn't referenced in prophecy (the land of Magog is Turkey), and the desolation of Damascus takes place just before Jesus returns, so I would
say that it would be at least 7 years before any prophetic fulfillment can occur.

A nuclear showdown? Hmm, a few heads meet at a small table in an interesting room, have some words, then worldwide nuclear aniliation? Maybe. Maybe
not. It seems a tall order to destroy the world over Syria. But then, with the idiots we gallantly put in charge to make our decisions for us I
wouldn't be surprised.

I don't care about the end, one day all of us will die and that will be the end, at least as far as we are concerned. If it is true that some guy
scorched by the desert heat predicted all that will come and all the events that will take place,that lead to our demise, and the coming of a
omnipotent omnipresent savior. then this world is madness, this reality is madness, and I want nothing to do with it. Send me to hell with fire and
brimstone, I'm not saying that it's not possible because after all we are on a floating rock, spinning around an exploding ball of hydrogen, having a
conversation on an integrated network, so yea crazyier # has happened, im just saying that if that is the flavor of the insanity,then I curse my
existence ,and am awestruck by the absurdity of it all. Until then I'm just gonna jam out and try to live a peaceful and meaningful life.

It concerns me that the U.S. is being backed into a corner, and we are not backing down, and we need to. Let them have Syria. But the egos in
Washington won't accept backing down as an option. If it becomes WWIII, it will be the "war of the egos".

I've said it before and I'll say it again, we either need to full scale occupy the Middle East until it resembles modern day Germany, or turn away
wash our hands of it and never look back. One foot in and one foot out ain't gonna work. Meh

Yaaaaa this could be it.......Russian and American jets in the same air space, what could go wrong ! ? Israel and Syria being so close........what if
The U.S. concedes Syria to Russia ? Seems like this could be a situation that could easily flare up into more than a regional conflict.

Biblical prophecy is self-fulfilling. Israel is behind a lot of what's going on in the Middle East right now, they have a vested interest in biblical
prophecy so they shape events to vaguely resemble the vague prophecies in the bible. That means it's not prophecy at all but guidelines for those who
came after it was written.

I'm sorry but a lot of you who name sides, though I am admittedly a side namer, just #en make me puke. We are all cogs in this machine, that doesn't
mean it's supernaturally controlled nor does it mean that one side is more right than the other, it just means we all have a subjective upbringing and
a societal influence that shapes our opinions and beliefs and they always center around us and them. So you are just adding to the us and them
mentality, you are not to blame nor am I, but in a world where divisiveness has meaning I stand here,and you stand there, so what are you gonna do
about it. Welcome to the machine.

I agree. I think events being manipulated by those in power to mimic vague prophecy is a much more likely than men predicting it thousands of years
ago. Though the ones who believe in the "prophecies" would never consider this possibility because they, like Israel, have a vested interest in the
prophecies coming true.
